After reading some of the previous posts, I was paying very close attention for the roadsigns. Luckily I spotted a small white "Maryland Highpoint" sign up a tree. This was a really nice little hike after driving nonstop from Mt. Davis, PA. Enjoyed lunch at the picnic table at the summit, signed the logbook and on my way. Despite the fact that it was a beautiful fall day, I had the whole place to myself going up and coming down.

Nice hike for a sister and brother who were always going to do it but never did...until 6-10-2010. Must have passed this place more times than I can count in my 50+ years. If you put off something long enough, you don't have to do it. So my sister and I decided to go. Fairly easy hike even for someone as old as me and not in peak shape. Except for the pile of rotting deer carcasses near the entrance, it was great. It was my first high point I didn't just drive by and say..."I have to climb there one day."

Followed Alpinist and his wife from MT. Davis to Backbone mountain. nice hike. the drive was awesome. Signed my first climbers log on a mountain. Cloudy but you could get a small glimpse of a view. good times.

Drove down from Pittsburgh with Sarah for a trifecta highpoint weekend. We hit Mt Davis and Backbone Mountain on Oct 23rd with fellow SPer xDoogiex. Sarah and I then hit Spruce Knob the following morning. We timed the autumn color change perfectly. Sadly, it was foggy on the 23rd and our visibility was pretty limited. Happily, we woke up the next morning to clear skies and were able to enjoy beautiful views on Spruce Knob.
